Anyone know what's actually wrong with him? His football opinions aside he always came across as a decent bloke, hoping for his speedy recovery.

Don't know? collapsing like that could be something to do with his heart but that is only a guess, the main thing is I hope he pulls through ok.

Just seen it's his 61st birthday today too, Jesus. 

Confirmed it was a collapse too, deary me.

Collapse probably means a heart attack or a stroke. 

Poor bloke.

Personally think he's always come across well on the tele when he's talking about football. Not sure about his views outside of football though...

Hope he gets well soon anyway

Hoping for the best for Hoddle. Sad to hear considering he's only 61 and even so that it was his birthday today.

Get well soon, Glenn!

Glenn Hoddle: Former England boss at home following the cardiac arrest

24 minutes ago | Football

Former England manager Glenn Hoddle is at home recuperating following his cardiac arrest in October.

Hoddle collapsed at the BT Sports studios on 27 October, his 61st birthday, and later underwent surgery.

A spokesman said Hoddle had "responded well to treatment" and had left St Bartholomew's Hospital in London in order to continue his recovery.

"Doctors have outlined that rest is paramount for Glenn now," the spokesman continued.

Hoddle overwhelmed by support - family

The sound engineer who used CPR says he is 'no hero'

"With that in mind, his family ask politely that their privacy is respected and that Glenn is given time to recover fully.

"The care that Glenn received from St Bartholomew's Hospital was exemplary. His family would like to thank the hospital staff and the many people who have sent supportive messages."

Hoddle is considered to have been one of the best players of his generation, winning the FA Cup twice and the Uefa Cup with Tottenham and also having spells with Monaco, Swindon, and Chelsea. He was capped 53 times by England.

He was a player-manager at Swindon and Chelsea before becoming England manager in 1996. He also managed at Southampton, Tottenham, and Wolves.
